Maya smiled at Phoenix from behind the bullet proof glass. "Never thought I'd end up here in another country, did ya?" Her smile seemed to grow at that.

Phoenix wasn't smiling. "Why did they arrest you?"

"Well, I did look suspicious," Maya replied thoughtfully. "And, they looked up my record right before they questioned me. Apparently they don't care if I was proven not guilty in all my previous offences." She made a sour face before resuming her smiling. "Have you found out anything yet?"

"No, I want to question the other girl but she has not been released yet." He looked absentmindedly to the security guard in the corner. This reminds me too much of Japan.

"Her name's Keila Woods, or at least that's what I've heard. Other than that, I really can't help you much."

"Can you describe what happened one more time?"

"Sure," Maya took in a breath before she began. "The priest guy had just finished his last sermon and everyone was about to leave, but this guy cringed in pain and fell to the floor. (I was sitting behind them.) His sister, the Keila girl, rushed to his side and began asking him if he was ok. He could barely breathe and they said is heart rate was dropping rapidly. I personally think he was poisoned but..."

"You mentioned them, was there anyone else sitting with the siblings, perhaps a parent?" Phoenix asked as he memorizing Maya's description.

"There was this other guy, real dark hair and dark eyes, and a girl, brown hair I guess, both close to the age of the victim. I didn't see any parents."

Maya's gotten better at this. "Do you know their names or relation to the victim?"

"I don't have a clue. Try asking Keila when she's out of questioning."

"Ok, if you remember anything else..."

"Oh, there was one more thing!" Maya exclaimed turning to the security guard and asking him for something. He handed Maya a photo which she promptly handed to Phoenix. "This was taken right as he collapsed."

The pictured showed a guy with light hair lying on the floor. There was a small, almost unnoticeable, plastic cup lying under his seat. There were four other people standing up behind the victim and there was Maya in the background looking like she was...

"Were you coughing in this picture?"

"Yeah, is that important?"

"It makes you look more suspicious." He slipped the photo into his pocket. "I'm going to go see the crime scene. If anything comes up—"

"I'll call you immediately." She saluted him as he went back into the bright world.

a/n: this is chapter 2! It's finished, also finished quickly but I think I spent more time editing it. I'm going to have someone help me beta soon, but I was being lazy. Small edits from chapter 1: I changed some spelling and changed the victim's name. Chapter 3 is almost finshed, but I think I'll wait until I go on break to finish it! Thank you for reading!

And thank you those who read this story and reviewed. It helped me a lot!
